Our Own Private Universe
12 minutes, S16mm > digital, 2016
An experimental melodrama. Language is unreliable and our dialogue is uncertain. Is meaning adding up or emptying out? We need these actors to play their parts in order to mask a wilting fiction. What do they say? Which lives do they speak of? They talk all at once. To have been is not enough for them. In the meantime, let them talk calmly, since they are incapable of keeping silent.
